MISSION STATEMENT
To provide COMFORT and
SAFETY to pets of all kinds while they remain in their most familiar
environment: home.
To do this while they remain free from anxiety and
danger, and while nurturing them with proper exercise, proper reinforcement,
social interaction (interspecies & human), and above all, love.
To provide pet owners with the piece of mind that their beloved companions
are safe at home, and never denied the exercise, reinforcement,
socialization, diet, training, and love they deserve.
PHILOSOPHY
The earth was made for man
and man was made to rule it" - A concept as written by Daniel Quinn through
his character Ishmael on the self destructive ideals of our culture.
The management and staff at Home Sweet Home Pet Care Providers, believes
strongly the antithesis; "The earth was made for all, and man was made to
keep it."
There is an unspeakable bond between man and animal that cannot be denied.
They are our planetary brethren, our protectors as well as our dependents.
They are our companions.
"The difference between the animal owner and the animal lover is that the
animal owner will eventually be faced with the inconvenience of it all.
The animal lover will blindly accept the same as duty, and thus knows not
the meaning of the word."
It is our responsibility to honor this commitment, and not to allow
"inconvenience" to sway our patience when dealing with animals. No one said
it would be "convenient" to preserve the earth. But whom else shall it fall
upon?
COMPANY PROFILE
~We are a family owned and operated company – so you can always trust that
every member of our staff is also a lifelong friend or member of our family.
~You can read the profile of each caregiver that works for us and know that
each bio is a genuine account.
~We do not believe in the practices of sub contractor employment which
leaves too much responsibility in limbo.
~We often get busy, but will first sacrifice our personal time before
handing work out to those we don’t know and therefore can’t really trust! As
we are a small company with no grand intentions of super expansion, our
clients get the same personal attention from the same caregivers day in and
day out.
~We may need to help cover each other on any given day, but that is always
the exception as opposed to the rule. When and if we do decide to hire
another caregiver, it is always carefully considered and any current clients
that it may effect, will always be notified and approved through before
services continue. (A new petsitter will never just show up at the door!).
~We, the owners, were both raised in blue collar families and don’t mind
working hard for an honest day’s pay. We manage 90% of our jobs and oversee
all of them.
~Clients with concerns are forever encouraged to come to us and we will
never forward you to an automated voice prompter! Yay!
~We will always clean pet messes, and pickup on our walks. We leave your
house as we found it and help you with whatever little chores we can.
~We always update with every visit and encourage our clients to call as
often as they’d like. We’ll answer any questions, and provide as many
references as you’d like.
~We work many consecutive days and so enjoy our vacations but always
communicate our unavailability or the substitution by another caregiver with
our clients.
~We would like more business but would rather the wonderful clients we have
and have room for be undeniably happy and continue to request our services
than to let quality control fall by the wayside.
~We are open to any type of request as strange as it may seem. If it is not
something that we can accommodate, we will say so.
~We service holiday overnights but ask for reasonable compensation, (and
reasonable is just that - we do not price gauge)
~We will always try to match any of our competitor’s prices and so recommend
that you call us last. We cannot guarantee we’ll beat their price and cannot
pay for your pet care if we can’t. That’s for infomercials.
~We are reasonably priced, but where we cost more, is where we sacrifice
more as our service is always our own time, worry, responsibility, fuel, and
long hours that are sacrificed.
~We operate with the long term in mind and pay for our employees fuel should
they travel out of their service area, work late, or work on holidays. We do
not want a high turnover rate. We make very little profit, if any at all in
these circumstances but are happy nonetheless as we currently have food on
our table.
~We love any opportunity to work with new pets, and even if this website
doesn’t seem to be what you’re looking for, encourage you to call and talk
with one of us anyway.
